Even if things were different, knowing the past, the choices that the goose would make would probably not change much.

But that's okay.

Lingering on the beautiful memories Cecilia held for Sirin, the white-haired girl said softly, "Follow the path you want to take, because that will surely be Cecilia's wish as well."

"As for Otto."

He will have his own ending.

"..."

At this moment, the silly goose obviously couldn't understand the meaning of those words, but she still nodded silently.

However, Durandal seemed to have sensed something from those words.

"Are you leaving?"

The silly goose was a little reluctant. If she could, she would love to bring Kiana back to Destiny and be her "best friend" every day.

However, she also understood that there was an irreconcilable conflict between Kiana and the bishop, so this idea was obviously impossible to realize.

"Yes, it's about time."

"Consider it a gift, sister." With a crisp snap of her fingers, the 'Skyfire' armed doll stored in the imaginary space fell to the ground, and the white-haired girl, who had risen from the park bench, said this.

“An interesting sparring partner, by your standards, that’s about right. Hmm~ I think you’ll definitely like this little guy.”

"Well then, goodbye~"

The girl, with her hands behind her back, leaned forward, her body quite impressive by girlish standards, and smiled as she was swallowed by the 'imaginary space'.

Meanwhile, the dazed goose, sitting in place, stared at the Skyfire placed to the side, looking in the direction where 'Kiana' had disappeared, feeling empty inside.

"Oh dear, it seems I forgot something~"

The lively voice instantly excited Durandal, but she was also puzzled as to what she had forgotten. But the next moment—

An imaginary cube unfolded beside the silly goose and approached it at an extremely fast speed...

Sneak attack!

Her usual alertness vanished at this moment. The warm touch on her cheek made Durandal a little stunned. But it wasn't until the girl's giggles completely disappeared that Durandal came to her senses and realized what had happened.

At this moment, Miss Saint Goose transformed into braised goose.

Ps:

Wasting Time is the Strongest Substitute

Jiang Luo:

"I believe that wasting time is the weakest substitute."

"No offensive power, no defensive power, no self-awareness, the messenger relies entirely on himself to fight. He's really too weak, don't you agree?"

All the residents of Araki Manor touched the bumps on their heads: "You're right!"

Chapter 204 A Suffocating Feeling Like a Python

The successful recovery of the Herrscher core undoubtedly signifies Anti-Entropy's success in this incident. Although the process was somewhat complicated, it was still acceptable thanks to Bronya's painstaking efforts to embellish it, as she was concerned about saving face and didn't want to lose face in front of Seele. For example, in the part where she was captured by World Serpent with the Staff of the Underworld due to her arrogance, Bronya cleverly used subtle language to interpret her defeat as a 'scheme'—she didn't fail, but rather deliberately showed weakness in order to further obtain information about World Serpent.

Although there were some doubts after discovering that Bronya was the original, fortunately, there were no other eyewitnesses besides Raven and Grey Serpent at the scene, so Bronya successfully got away with it.

For Schicksal, although the loss of the Tranquility Gem, the core of the Herrscher, was not a big deal in practice. After all, the Tranquility Gem generated almost no profit in Schicksal's hands, and due to the 'artificial Herrscher' experiment, it caused the continuous loss of Valkyries and a large amount of funds, making it an absolute loss-making business. Only Otto would maintain this project—of course, he has no interest in it now.

After all, he had already discovered 'Kiana,' who could wield the power of the Herrscher with human will. With this as the basic starting point, creating other Herrschers would be nothing more than a casual game of chess in his spare time.

The confirmation of Kiana's existence is far more valuable than the Lost Tranquility Gem, not to mention that Schicksal also gained the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, so overall it's a win.

From this perspective, the only one who suffered a complete loss in this struggle was the World Serpent.

For the purpose of the experimental Stigmata Project—after realizing that the man-made Honkai had been triggered, Jiang Qiao used part of the 'Origin' authority she carried to limit the scale and scope of the Great Honkai as much as possible, minimizing casualties, which naturally led to the failure of the World Serpent's experiment.

For the purpose of protecting the Thousand Worlds Ichijō—needless to say, not only was the Thousand Worlds Ichijō not saved, but even the important armed puppet 'Skyfire' was given to the goofball by 'Kiana' as a gift.

Furthermore, the most important task was to obtain the 'Herrscher Core' to replenish the body of their Lord who was lurking in the sea and guide him back to reality... The result undoubtedly ended in failure—the good news was that Gray Serpent saved a body and an umbrella, the bad news was that the body was destroyed after he saw Feather Rabbit once.

In conclusion—the world is in deep trouble.

Not only did they fail to achieve any of their intended goals, but the awakening from the shadows also completely exposed the 'World Serpent' lurking in the dark side of the world, which will inevitably lead to the World Serpent being suppressed in the world.

Thinking about all of this, even the mechanical creature Gray Snake couldn't help but feel an urge to burst into tears.

It failed again!

Even if I wanted to cry, for the sake of the World Serpent and for the Lord, I still had to continue planning.

Conquest Gem, Desire Gem, and Tranquility Gem... Three of the four gems are now gone. Gray Serpent sighed and could only focus his attention on the remaining 'Plague Gem'. According to the last message passed on by the organization's undercover agents in World Serpent, this last hope seemed to be stored on the floating island of the Destiny Headquarters.

Although a target was identified, given Dr. Maki's precedent and the fact that Otto no longer needed any 'bait,' obtaining the Herrscher core from the most heavily guarded floating island of Schicksal headquarters...

Gray Snake suddenly understood why his adopted daughter wanted to retire so much.

In the pitch-black night, only a long sigh remained.

—A salt lake base far away in North America.

Bronya is racking her brains trying to figure out how to make Seele discover that she is the real Bronya.

Of course, it's impossible to say it directly; that would be too embarrassing—and we can't let Jiang Qiao say it directly either, because that would be equivalent to losing to that bad guy, wouldn't it? As a proud super gamer, Alloy Brown, how could Ya Ya accept such a thing?

So how can she make Seele realize that she is the real Bronya? After much thought, Duck finally came to a conclusion: she is more like Bronya than that guy Jiang Qiao! ...No, Bronya is Bronya! What Bronya needs is to prove to Seele that she is the most Bronya Bronya!

So first of all——

He needed a chance to be alone with Seele!

Bronya, using her clever mind, quickly found a solution—when they were in the orphanage, Seele often slept with her, and they would talk a lot while sleeping, sometimes even until dawn, and the next day they would both have dark circles under their eyes.

Now, if I were to have a similar late-night conversation, wouldn't the truth about the real and fake Bronya be immediately revealed?

Thinking about it and then acting on it, Duck, being a very proactive person, fantasized about recognizing Seele, and then Seele recognizing the real Bronya, abandoning that bad guy Jiang Qiao, and returning to the best friend mode.

Soon, she found Seele in the base—what annoyed Ya Ya was that Seele was actually with that bastard Jiang Qiao.

But it's okay, this bad guy won't be smug for long. After tonight, Seele will see who the real Bronya is! You can stay by yourself! Well, out of humanitarianism, Bronya can play games with us when she's free! After all, this bad guy brought Seele back for him.

Bronya spoke up:

“Seele…”

"Sister Bronya."

Miss Blue Wendy, who was holding Kiana's arm, acted quite affectionately.

Due to Ya Ya's strong sense of self-esteem, although he didn't understand, the kind-hearted Jiang still didn't reveal the truth that he was actually a pseudonym, which allowed this 'substitute game' to continue until now.

Yes—one thing is certain: the pain has continued to this day.

Watching her beloved younger sister call out her name but call someone else's, Duck felt only pain, so much pain!

But what hurt her even more was—

"How about we sleep together tonight?"

No! Absolutely not good!

Bronya, who was supposed to be discerning the truth overnight, was completely taken aback when she heard Seele's request.

If they really slept together, how would I expose Jiang Qiao, that bad guy, and prove myself?

However, because she cared about Seele, Bronya couldn't bring herself to refuse, and could only stare at 'Kiana' with murderous eyes—you better know your place.

Jiang Qiao, who was about to refuse, was taken aback when she noticed the gaze. She was a little confused... Did this mean she should agree?

And looking at Seele's expectant face... I know, Bronya must not want to disappoint Seele, so she's hinting at it like this!

Sigh, there's just no way around it.

With the intention of doing a good deed to the end, Jiang Qiao, who scored full marks in elementary school reading comprehension, could only go against her wishes—'Kiana' nodded with a slightly helpless expression.

"Ok."

Undoubtedly, Seele became happier, and the strength in her embrace increased. The firm yet soft touch made Jiang sigh that she truly deserved to be the nourishment of the entire orphanage.

Hmm, Bronya seems quite happy too.

—Without a doubt, Bronya was smiling at that moment.

After all, Seele was smiling so happily, so who would she be showing her if she wore a long face? Not wanting to upset Seele, nor wanting it to affect her plan to prove Bronya's purity, Duck could only force a smile with an expression that looked as if Alexandra had died.

Of course, there was a murderous intent between her eyes—it was foreseeable that Miss Bronya probably wanted to drag Jiang Qiao into a small room and then execute her with cannon fire for ten minutes straight!

That night, Duckling, covered with a small blanket on her little bed, couldn't sleep. Out of Anti-Entropy's good intentions, to make things more convenient for them, Kiana's room and Bronya's room were next to each other. As a result, through the Herrscher's inhuman senses, she was able to vaguely hear the sounds from the other side of the room.

Without a doubt, Seele was very happy—she went out with a smile the next day—while Kiana looked somewhat helpless.

How should I put it? His sleep quality was far from good, because Seele's sleeping posture seemed to have some 'minor issues'. While sleeping, he could feel a suffocating sensation in his dreams, as if a python were coiling around him—and when he woke up, he would find Seele hugging him like a koala.

However, it's still quite soft, and the Herrscher's body doesn't really need much rest... Overall, it's a rather novel body pillow experience?

Of course, for Seele, it meant a good night's sleep.
